Materials Data on Mg(BH4)2 by Materials Project
Abstract
Mg(BH4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two Mg(BH4)2 frameworks. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to eight H+0.50+ atoms to form MgH8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with four equivalent BH4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.08 Å) and four longer (2.12 Å) Mg–H bond lengths. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to eight H+0.50+ atoms to form distorted MgH8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with four equivalent BH4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.09 Å) and four longer (2.12 Å) Mg–H bond lengths. B3- is bonded to four H+0.50+ atoms to form BH4 tetrahedra that share edges with two MgH8 hexagonal bipyramids. There is two shorter (1.22 Å) and two longer (1.23 Å) B–H bond length. There are four inequivalent H+0.50+ sites. In the first H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mg2+ and one B3- atom. In the second H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Mg2+ and one B3- atom. In the third H+0.50+ site, H+0.50+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Mg2+ and one B3-more »
